I'm doing a Chrome extension and I got helped in this post here.
My problem now is how to open a new tab of chrome that has as URL the link I clicked in the popup.html
. I tried to do like someone suggested in their answers in other similar question like setting <a>
's attribute target
to _blank
but the only result is that chrome does open a new tab but in the new tab is my popup.html.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks.
You should use chrome.tabs module to manually open the desired link in a new tab. Try using this jQuery snippet in your popup.html:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('body').on('click', 'a', function(){
chrome.tabs.create({url: $(this).attr('href')});
return false;
});
});
